Twin Fibers is a place Heather and I visit often for inspiration! Those girls are always working on something darling!!! Some of my favorite projects are Jennifer's Parasols Quilt (!!!!), Jessica's Selvage Star Quilt, and Jessica's Mod Times Quilt Along...I can't wait for a break to start this quilt :) Oh and THIS recent project has me drooling. Twin Fibers is an absolute MUST if you're a quilt blog hopper :)

Enjoy Jessica's Quilting Diva's Virtual Quilting Bee quilt:

Thanks again to Heather and Megan for allowing me to share another one of my quilts with you!

Many of the blocks from this quilt were from the Quilting Diva's Bee that I was in. I received so many gorgeous blocks! The women in that group really spent some time choosing fabrics that were perfect for my color scheme and spent even more time stitching a block together.

I love the eclectic nature of the quilt and I think the sashing and binding really helps to pull it all together. Usually I stick with a solid sashing but I really love how the stripe and patterned cornerstone fabrics work within this quilt.

I've been working hard at finishing up some of my unfinished quilt projects since the beginning of the year and am so glad that I pulled this one out to work on. It would be a shame to have those gorgeous blocks hidden away! Now I see and can enjoy them every day in this quilt. If you'd like to see more of what I'm up to, I keep a blog at Twin Fibers where my sister and I share our sewing projects.
Happy Sewing!

Your quilt turned out beautiful! I have had my blocks from Quilting Divas out on my desk for a while trying to figure out what to do with them. I need to come up with a few extra blocks to add to it. I hope my turns out as wonderful and cozy as yours did!
